This Product:

I am a big guy with hard to fit feet. I have ended up with a lot of different boots looking for ones that fit me best for different jobs. Though I try to buy USA-made shoes and boots whenever possible, I have found that Ariat boots fit my very wide feet very well. These are no exception. Like other Ariat boots I have had, these break in very quickly and are pretty much comfortable right out of the box. They are bit tight on my especially wide foot, but they stretch to accommodate the width and then fit perfectly.

My only concern is about the long-term durability of the soles. WIth a lot of soles, I can wear through pretty quickly, and I've yet to put a pair of Ariats all the way through the gauntlet. But the way they fit me, I worry that the soles will wear on the ball of my foot pretty quickly.
